2020 was a difficult year for Australians. The global pandemic was followed by a crippling recession. While low interest rates have saved consumers from insurmountable debt, they have also made it near impossible to make money through regular savings accounts. Instead, Australians are increasingly turning to investment assets – including shares, property, micro-investing apps and superannuation – to build wealth and secure their financial futures.

It discusses how the different asset classes will continue to respond as the economy recovers and provides an analysis of the short-term and long-term impacts of the current economic environment on asset performance. This report is based on data from Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker, as well as analysis of third-party resources.
